i'm an internal systems engineer and i don't trust the boss to not be doing suspicious stuff on the network. when i started, he was already a domain admin and there's not much i can do to remove those rights. he likes to login to switches, servers, routers, etc and just change settings that he thinks he needs changed, then when shit crashes, i have to go fix it. at one point, he installed some worm on his laptop and our intrusion detection system went crazy. i've also watched our exchange server as he constantly checks everyone's email.............the email checking is for personal gain of covering his own ass. i'm just sitting and waiting for him to make some huge mistake so i can justify removing his domain admin rights. 8)
Secondly, when you start to deal with the nagios error at 2am, send an email saying "I am looking into this now", and when you're done at 3am, send an email saying "All done now, see you at 10, I need my sleep more than ever now!". Screw what other people say, make sure your boss knows every single time you work out of hours via the aforementioned email. Bosses like reading emails that says "Problem fixed." anyway. Also make a note in a log book so you can demonstrate your out of hours company-saving efforts at review time.
ha... i find that most bosses read email in the opposite order. if an issue comes in via email, i fix it and respond that it is fixed. 2 days later, the boss "catches up" on his email and responds to the original email to want to know if it was fixed..........because he is reading the oldest emails first. this seems to be a trend with every IT manager that i've ever had.
outlook needs a threaded email system like gmail has. that way, if there were 10 responses to 1 email, they will all show up as 1 big thread rather than 11 separate emails.
If you're worried about "what major cities to go through" then you're no longer talking about "local knowledge". I think it's more talking about the fact that people who rely on sat-nav don't generally know the back streets as well as they used to.

actually the iphone dev-team has had a hack for it, but they've been sitting on it in anticipation of apple releasing a 3.0.1 or 3.1 in the near future. they didn't want apple to patch the hole. http://blog.iphone-dev.org/
i have an iphone 3g. i jailbroke as soon as i got it a few months ago because of some stupid restrictions. if apple would remove these restrictions, then i'd have no reason to jailbreak.
#1 - on a standard iphone, you can't change the incoming email alert sound... it is what it is. that means, if you have 10 people in a room and they all have iphones, if anyone gets an email, then everyone will be checking their phones because none of that is customizable.
#2 - on a standard iphone, you are limited to a handful of incoming sms alert sounds.... again, same thing as with email sounds.
the only 2 jailbreak applications that i actually use are the 5 icon dock (with the dockflow theme) and cyntact (an app that allows me to see the pictures of my contacts while they are in the list as opposed to having to open the contact to see the picture).
if apple would alleviate the 2 restrictions about changing sounds, i could live without the 5 icon dock and cyntact. i would have no reason to jailbreak.... and by alleviate, i don't mean to make me buy the sounds off of itunes like they try to make you do with ringtones, which you can get around that by importing m4r files.. 8)
i work as a systems engineer for a healthcare company. on a daily basis, i have to deal with nurses that use our systems. what it comes down to is nurses might be good at what they do, but they otherwise lack the skills to do anything else. most of them, even the ones in their twenties, barely know how to use a mouse. putting everything on the computer adds a step of complexity to what they do. management at our facilities loves what we do because it makes reporting and accountability easier. nurses hate what we do because regardless of how easy we make it on a computer, it will always be easier to write it down on a form. they also hate it because it makes it easier for anyone to expose mistakes that they make.
if someone keys in Joe Bob's diagnosis and medications wrong, we know exactly who did it. if someone steals meds while they are stocking our machine, we know exactly who did it. that is a threat to a lot of people and really puts the management of a lot of places in a bind. on the one hand, it's hard to get good people; a nurse could be an excellent nurse and be completely computer illiterate. on the other hand, it's easier to run reports based on stuff in a database as opposed to stuff written on forms.
what we've found is that if we make it "idiot proof", they will find a way to be a bigger idiot. 8)
a few years ago, i was in the same place you are in. i was working as the primary support guy in a distribution center for a mall-based retailer. i loved my job and where i worked, but i really wanted to advance. since this was my first IT job, i had nothing to prove that i had any skills beyond the 2.5 years of being where i was. i convinced the company to pay for some certification classes. i obtained the a+ and net+ certs about a year and a half after i started.
after a few months of job searching, i finally landed a job as a systems engineer for a start-up pharmacy.
anyway, my problem with finding a job should be advice to you.. i couldn't decide what path i wanted to go down. i had some database experience, some php, and some systems experience. you have to just choose the one you want to do and concentrate on those jobs. otherwise, you will be flooded by recruiters for low-paying jobs that don't interest you. luckily, i wound up in a position to where i can concentrate on the systems and still get to work with databases and scripting.
in february, my wife and i both purchased 8GB IPhone 3G phones @ $199 each. i know several other people that have done the same thing within the past couple of months. it really peeves me that apple dropped the price to $99 AND introduced a new phone that has twice the capacity for the same price as the phone that I bought. it would be different if they said, "in 1 year, there will be this blah blah blah phone for $199" because that would have given the consumers a chance to decide if they want to go ahead with the massive $199 purchase or wait to get something that is better for the same price.
i know i'm preachin to the choir, but apple should show some good faith and offer some sort of upgrade plan for people who purchased iphones within the past 6 months. there is no way in hell that i'm going to shell out $199 more within the next couple of years just to get a phone that has features that apple fucked up in the original iphone3g. i would, however, be willing to pay $50-75 to upgrade my phone to the IPhone3GS.
within the past year, my company went around purchasing the.net,.us,.biz, etc TLDs for our domain. none of them were taken except for the.net version. we called the guy up and said we were interested and asked what his asking price was. he said $2000, to which we said that was way too high. he came back to us with, "well how much do you want to offer for it". i think that our final buying price was between $300 and $500.
in that experience, i realized that some squatters are just one or two guys that sat around and registered a ton of domains for a couple of dollars a piece. they are going to use the car salesman mentality by "hit em really high... then scrape them off the ceiling so you can get the price you want to sell for". so they slap you with the $2000 as their asking price knowing that you won't pay it. they know that you won't come back with a $50 offer since their first offer was so high. if they had first said $500, then you probably wouldn't offer them as much. if you really want to play their game and you are just getting started, it might be safe to just kill your webserver while you are on the phone with them so that they can't see what type of company you are or if you has the money bags.
anyway, just go into it like you are buying a car. don't seem too interested or you will pay way more than you should.
i love teamfortress 2 and it's just about the only game that i play. my biggest complaint is these stupid class updates. they have been releasing them one at a time for a year or so. what happens is that every server you go on, every player is playing as that specific class so they can get all of the upgrades. the updates really ruin gameplay for 3 weeks or so until the new wears off. several of the people i play with all agree that they should just release all of the remaining class updates at the same time.... we all thought this when they first started releasing these updates.
I believe you are totally missing the point for the light sensitive glasses. they are never meant to be sunglasses. they are meant to protect your eyes from UV rays so that you don't damage your eyes. they also only barely darken anything you are looking at, with it being most noticeable on white things, like clouds or sheets of paper. what they really excel at is taking the edge off when you are looking at an object that is extremely bright........ EXCEPT FOR THE SUN. you aren't supposed to stare at the sun while you wear these.
I wear glasses that have the newest version of the transitions lenses. they turn much faster in heat than they do in cold... just the opposite of the older version. even still, when i wear them, i can't tell that they've changed to dark until I take them off and look at them.
my advice is that if you want your prescription glasses to work on the beach, you have 3 options: buy prescription sunglasses, buy a style of sunglasses that comes with a built-in clip-on (usually magnetic), or get contacts and wear regular sunglasses.
have you ever been to one of those cities? they don't use the golf carts to go play golf. they drive them up and down the roads. walgreens has tiny parking places for them. they all have tiny garages for them. http://www.worldofstock.com/closeups/TRO1636.php
will it be like one of those crazy retirement communities in florida where everyone drives golf carts? what will happen at night when all of those old farts plug their golf carts in? 8)
Clark: Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, fore-fleshing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is. Hallelujah. Holy shit. Where's the Tylenol?
did it happen to be a website order for a cellphone from bestbuy?
last week i went round and round with them. i purchased 2 phones and extended my cingular contract, all over the bestbuy website (would have done it in the store but they didn't have the color phone my wife wanted). the phones shipped and 3 days later i got the phones and new sim cards.
i was informed that i HAD to use the new sim cards in order to use the HSPDA technology. that was fine with me. so i ask them to activate the phones. the indian girl tells me it will happen any time at random within the next 24 hours. WTF? so i ask her why i have to carry 2 phones for the next 24 hours until they get around to activating it. I talked to another guy, supposedly a supervisor, that said the same thing. i called back the next day around noon and got the same answer.
finally i gave up and just called cingular directly. the people i had been calling before were from bestbuy's vendor Inphonic (avoid them like the plague). anyway, i told the cingular rep what was going on and she had my phone activated within 5 minutes. to add salt to the wound, it turns out that MY new cell phone was broken.
i think about it for a couple hours and decide to cancel my contract extension and send the phones back. i talked to a cingular rep who kindly canceled the extension so that i could do a new phone deal elsewhere. actually, he gave me a better deal on the phones than the cingular stores and website do, so i just ordered the phones through him. now, here's the catch....that Inphonic company wanted their SIM cards back. cingular informed me that once a sim card has been deactivated, it can never be activated again. so i couldn't go back to using my old phones/cards in the interim while i was waiting for the new phones after i had already shipped the old phones.
anyway...... call centers in india are crap. i could tell an instant difference in quality of service when i was speaking to someone that spoke english as a primary language. not only could i understand them speaking, i knew that they at least somewhat knew what i was talking about and needing.
props to cingular/ATT. all 3 reps that i talked to were the nicest reps that i have ever spoken with. they resolved my issue and got me new phones and gave me a great deal on the new phones.
i don't think you get it. most thieves of dvds in stores like wal-mart and target are teenagers and college kids who can't afford dvds and are too stupid to know how to download them. yes, there are some major theft rings that will have access to the technology to crack this, but the majority of dvds that are physically stolen are by people who just plain think they can get away with it.
i used to work in loss prevention at walmart. there were some major theft rings that came through... but most of my stops involving dvds were poor college kids, high school kids, and/or homeless people (the homeless people would just return the dvds and cds to get gift cards to buy food with).
back when i was in high school in the late 90s, i had my own phone line which i used explicitly for dialup internet. my isp was a local company called otelco, now corr. my bill always said i had a 200 hour limit beside the charge for internet. one month, my bill said "unlimited usage" so i just assumed that my limit had been increased. so i did what any nerd would do who had a dedicated dialup line....... i left it connected 24/7 for the whole month. my next internet bill was about $400. the phone company claimed that it was "unlimited usage up to 200 hours"... as if that makes any sense.
actually, having worked in LP in the retail world, there would be 1 of 2 scenarios.
1. the customer brings up a really expensive item and it rings up for a ridiculously low price... a lot lower than anything the cashier would expect and that the customer would expect. lets use the example that they were buying a DVD player for $100 and it was marked $100 on the shelf... when the cashier scans it, it scans for $1. The cashier would most likely call the electronics department to figure out the problem and then do a price override to mark it to the correct price. that is, if the cashier is paying attention to what they are doing.
2. this is what you described.. it is called underringing. the cashier knowingly doesn't charge the customer for the item. say, the customer is buying the $100 dvd player and a stack of dvds. the cashier would scan all of the DVDs and not scan the DVD player. both the customer and the cashier would be held responsible and could be charged with theft on this one.
i believe that amazon would be an example of #1. if i bought a DVD player that was supposed to cost $100 and it rang up for $1 and the cashier didn't catch it, it isn't my fault. it is the cashier's fault. i wouldn't expect walmart or target to charge my credit card since it is their mistake and not mine. i will just think that i got a great deal.
As of the time i checked it at 7AM this morning, it was still telling me what the temperature was at midnight. I can assume that when i get home this afternoon, I can check the temp at 5 and it will tell me what it was at noon.
